randomness...

I was browsing my local bookstore here in astoria last week looking for nothing in particular and found this vintage copy of No One Here Gets Out Alive amongst several random paperbacks in a dark stairwell. It was amazing that I found it..but I did.
It's by Danny Sugerman...the guy who wrote Wonderland Avenue which I read recently.

but it's awesome..it's from 1981 and it was only $1.99!!
not sure when i'm gonna read it yet..but

currently finishing up Little Miss Strange


next I'm going to read On the Road by Jack Kerouac
which I borrowed from Catherine

*****************************

shortly after I got my haircut, Kalifornia came on tv and I do love that movie
both david duchovny and brad pitt are young and attractive (and still are attractive for that matter...when is Californication coming back?!)
and michelle forbes is hot with her short hair and camera

I guess she smokes a lot in the film...




but yeah...it made me think of my haircut, tho mine is thinned out a bit and not as poofy
and a tiny bit longer in front

after i first saw this, i wanted to dress all in black and take pictures
hehe

********************

I got new sandals today


**************

took this pic on my way to the city this afternoon

i find myself taking a lot of pictures of this particular spot while i wait for my train...tho usually it's been at sunrise..


*****************

I wear my sunglasses at night...



got a new pair of sunglasses for 6 bucks which is much better than the 20 i was going to spend online for a similar pair

bobby said something really funny last night...he's so retarded sometimes
he sounded like forest gump: (so imagine it in that southern accent..cos that's how I keep saying it when I make fun of him haha)

"I don't like fancy things...that's why my favorite color is brown"

hahaha..i mean you probably had to be there

we were putting scoops of cookies and cream ice cream into bowls and i asked if he wanted chocolate syrup and that was his response
but i mean how does that even make sense?
and what does his favorite color have to do with him not liking fancy things
hahaha
it cracks me up..
just a "re-re" moment for bobby

****************

1 and a half weeks til the California desert and Vegas with a one day stay in LA at the start
can't wait yay
it will be so hot
but i want to take a lot of pics

I'm hoping to buy a new wide angle lens before I go

I shoot with a Canon Rebel XT
I've been thinking about the Sigma 10-22mm f/4-5.6(cos it's 200 bucks cheaper than it's Canon version)
or
Canon EF 35mm f/2 cos it's cheap $240 vs $500 of the Sigma..but not as wide...but better in lowlight

but i also heard the Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 is good which is around $400

can anyone help me out?
I leave on the 27th but I'd like to go get it this week...maybe friday
so any input would be great!!
